Dennis,
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
I reinstalled Mandrake 9.0 and at least this time the CDR was
auto-detected with 'cdrecord -scandisk' as on 0,3,0.
However it still will not work, due to the following error messages from
both X-CD-Roast and the cdrecord command line as follows:-
cdrecord: Trying to use high speed medium on low speed writer.
The 'cdrecord -scanbus' followed by the 'cdrecord' command line
follows:-
